The Art of Not Rushing Anywhere. How to Organize Work and Life to Get Rid of Deadline Terror

Are you familiar with the feeling of serenity? When it washes over you with soft waves of calm, like the sea during a lull, and it seems that time does not exist. That you are above it. Laura Vanderkam calls... this feeling "off the clock" — out of time, out of clocks, beyond the bounds of the dial. She has spent many years studying the lives of successful and happy people and seems to have unraveled their secret — they manage to be off the clock even in a world heated by the speed of movement.

- How do busy yet completely calm people structure their lives?

- What are their habits? How do they make decisions?

In her new book, Laura Vanderkam provides 7 tips that will help you feel off the clock more often while maintaining productivity. So that you can rise above the constant ticking and be happy every day.
